<p>I've come to the conclusion that when solving a problem, it is crucial to ask the right questions. In this case, people want to know "what works?" i.e. what actions or values help me to uphold this basic principle? </p>

<p>Are you really sure about that, Arch? I see that you and Kir are not on each other's friends lists, and you don't seem to have had a comment on your page since October. I don't know of any other way that you could be messaged, apart from e-mail.</p>
